52: Babyshambles - Adam Ficek on stepping into a whirlwind, writing, recording, and touring with Pete Doherty, psychotherapy and much more!

<div>This week we celebrate the ONE YEAR anniversary of <strong>The Boys in the Band Podcast </strong>with a fantastic chat with <strong>Adam Ficek </strong>from <strong>Babyshambles. </strong><br> <br> The band had already had a top 10 hit and were just about to lay down their debut album when he got invited to become their drummer - and he seized the opportunity. <br> <br> Adam tells us about that decision, the whirlwind he'd stepped into - and what it was like being in one of the most prominent, talked about bands of the era. <br> <br> From writing, recording, and touring with Pete Doherty, to seeing his good mate Pat Walden leave the band in the same year Babyshambles signed a big deal with a record label, Adam recounts the highs and lows. <br> <br> Plus, Adam shares some Babyshambles news - and why we could be seeing the band on stage again in the not too distant future... <br> <br> </div> <div> <strong>Babyshambles fan?
